As the Color Fades


What a gloomy week this has been.  The sun decided to make an appearance on just one day.  While the temperatures have been mild, the weather has been damp.  The beautiful fall colors have turned to brown.  Most of the fallen leaves have been raked or mowed then spread on our garden.  Lonely, bare branches stretch to the sky as if searching for a ray of sunshine.  I am not quite ready for winter and the retreat to the indoors, but my stiff body demands warmth.  I look forward to one small pleasure before climbing in bed each night—sliding into the warm, soothing waters of our hot tub.  From there I can watch the rain fall and the branches sway in the cool breeze. . . and I smile from my place of comfort.
